Free radical formation was studied with electron spin resonance during 2 h of intestinal ischemia in the cat, at a blood flow less than 5 ml.min-1.100 g-1, followed by 30-min reperfusion. A modification of the spin trapping technique was used to stabilize highly reactive free radicals. The rate of secondary radical formation was 0.32 +/- 0.06 mumol.min-1.100 g intestine-1 before ischemia and increased to a maximum of 0.66 +/- 0.09 mumol.min-1.100 g-1 during the first minutes of reperfusion (mean +/- SE, n = 5). This could be prevented either by maintaining intestinal blood flow at 8-15 ml.min-1.100 g-1, by administering allopurinol before and during ischemia, or by perfusing the intestinal lumen with an O2-saturated buffer solution during ischemia, resulting in maximum rates of radical production during reperfusion of 0.37 +/- 0.04 (n = 6), 0.33 +/- 0.04 (n = 5), and 0.39 +/- 0.13 mumol.min-1.100 g-1 (n = 5), respectively. The results demonstrate that free radicals are produced in the intestine during reperfusion after a period of reduced blood flow below a certain critical level, and that inhibition of xanthine oxidase and prevention of hypoxia will eliminate this radical production.

Subjecting hexaarylbiimidazole in polymer architectures to stress generates coloured triphenylimidazolyl radicals that initiate secondary radical reactions unifying stress-sensing and damage-repair.
